Wullie Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Scored just as many as Cisse this season. Hush now, it doesn't fit the narrative. What a load of sweaty arse crack. Cisse gets enough criticism in his own thread and several others round here, you've justified comparing jozy with the most out of form player on our books. Cracking, he's Americas best player as well yeah? Your boy has been shit so far, equally as shite as his hull days. Hopefully for you he'll score against us and you can be proud of your nations talents once again. First, I've never claimed he's our best player. He's not. I've only ever claimed he's better than he's given credit for by some of you hellbent on your anti-Mackem/anti-Yank crusade. He has not been shit. Next to Giaccherini, he has easily been the best player on a very poor team. RVP himself wouldn't be scoring for Sunderland at the moment, they're just that bad. And to pre-empt your next quip, no, that statement is not akin to saying "Altidore is just as good as RVP." His hold-up play has been quite good, he makes smart passes, and he can rip off a good shot. When he gets the ball, which is few and far between. Amazing how whenever he receives service for the U.S., he scores. Whenever he received service for AZ, he scored. Of course, 'CONCACAF and the Eredivisie are shit' blah blah blah and all that utter nonsense. It's funny that, for instance, "Sessegnon was their best player over the past few years, albeit bang average." Now that he no longer plays for Sunderland, "he's a really good player." Some of you are utterly incapable of objectivity when it comes to Sunderland. It's a childishness that extends far beyond football and, from outsiders' perspectives, is wildly pathetic. Sunderland is a nothing team from a nothing city with no history. If you want to be taken seriously by the rest of the country (and, despite pretending not to care, so many of you constantly bemoan the fact that Newcastle is slighted by southerners), stop comparing yourselves to Sunderland and start comparing yourselves to the Liverpools and Manchesters of the football world. Hold yourselves to a higher standard. Fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The reason people on here think he's shit is not because he's playing for Sunderland, it's because the 33 times they've seen him play, he's scored once. Not sure why it's so difficult for you lot to grasp. No way in hell anyone has seen all those games. OK, for the purpose of semantics - the 33 times he's played in the league of the team they watch, he's scored once. A propos nothing, what's your thoughts on Bosko Balaban?

Unbelievable Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Like everyone else I've been trying to think of who our next manager should be, I kept coming up with Martin O'Neil... plenty of premiership experience and has been relatively successful. I was happy when we appointed him before ( I'd wanted him to be manager for years ) but I was equally as happy when we got rid. A Steve Bruce type of manager who ( unlike some others ) actually can open doors to get players and normally does a steady job, even he was about to take us down. So let's try someone with good coaching skills and eager to prove himself, PDC was great, I personally agreed with just about everything I heard him say, re players ability, players efforts and player responsibility but we should have had our media centre do the external communication. Before the Fulham game I saw the defence practicing as a unit ( now I've never seen that before ), we played far better than a poor Fulham but still lost so I thought the base was there. I would like our next manager to be here for 5+ years, the names of McClaren, Poyet and Pulis make me shudder. Hiddink would be good but I doubt he'd come here, so, the name that I've come up with today is a person who I've never really liked until last year, unfortunately it's also the name of someone we cannot get i suppose..... Rafa Benitez. But we do pay a lot out in contract compensation, so why not pay that out up front to Napoli and bring him here? We have got to stop this high turnover of staff, the next managerial appointment is crucial as everyone knows.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 There's no doubt Americans are pretty defensive about our own players, more than most. Probably because we're a developing team with some decent players and a few good ones, but there's no doubt from my time on various forums since following football that there is a bias against American players due to our past shitness. The opinions on here about Altidore are coming from people who have barely seen him play and just completely off base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
